Can Drupal establish page CLASSES?

[EdwardMartinIII]

Can Drupal establish CLASSES of pages, such that each class has certain characteristics common only to that class.

For example, if I'm doing a website for test equipment...

One section involves energy probes, one section involves power probes, one section involves benchtop devices, one section involves accessories, etc.

For each section, I want the pages to appear different, to have different subnavigation, etc.

Can't use different domains, but I CAN use different directories, if that helps, but is it really the case that I'd have to install Drupal into multiple directories?! That seems nutty!

Any advice or suggestions welcome!

I'm not MARRIED to Drupal -- so if another CMS allows this sort of thing, I'm game to try it.

Cheers,


Edward
